Domestic tourism on upward trajectory in Western Cape — survey

Tourists wave as the Europa passenger liner arrives in Cape Town on November 30 2021. A survey by Cape Town Tourism has shown that the number of visitors to the Mother City increased significantly in December.Domestic tourism is bouncing back, with Cape Town experiencing a significant increase in local and international flights.

Chapman’s Peak Drive saw the most visitors and recorded a recovery rate of 77%, followed by the Two Oceans Aquarium at 76%. Groot Constantia recorded a 60% increase in visitors and Table Mountain saw a 57% recovery. Kirstenbosch recorded a 49% rise in visitor numbers, Robben Island 46% and Cape Point 33%.

Cape Town Tourism’s dipstick survey found that 57% of its members such as restaurants, tour operators, hotels, bed and breakfast establishments and shopping malls performed better in December 2021 compared with December 2020. About 64% of its members reported a rise in domestic visitors and about 18% reported an increase in visitors from the UK, while 25% saw an increase in visitors from the US and 25% from Germany.

“We are sitting with 55% fewer jobs , but we need to remain hopeful. The hope comes from the performance that the industry has delivered. Because we only have one shot to make a memorable experience, that’s what the industry has done over this December. They all rallied together and understood the pressures and still got into discount pricing. But the important thing is that we all understand that this is going to be a long road to recovery.

We just came back from there Tuesday weather was nice and everything 👌👌👌👌
